Elders

We believe the Bible entrusts the leadership of the church to a plurality of elders who are appointed by the existing elders as vacancies occur or need arises. Elders are to be men exemplary in character who can feed (teach), nurture, and lead the church, in addition to guarding its doctrinal integrity and relational purity as under-shepherds of the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
